Yes - you can register your workflows at bio.tools. A workflow can, after all, be considered just a tool with an input and output. Noone asked until now, though, so there may be some workflow-specific metadata that we don't currently capture (but can extend biotoolsXSD for it).
As for serving as a repo for CWL files, that's an open question. I'd say bio.tools probably shouldn't do it, but it can of course point to such.
